JACK PIERSON’S
SILVER JACKIE looks like nothing much: a rickety little postage stamp of a stage, just a raised platform made by the artist himself, and he says he’s no carpenter. (“Those early stage pieces I did myself and I’m not a woodworker so they have a real slapdash quality.”) Behind the stage, there’s a silver Mylar curtain that I can’t pry apart from my memories of 1970s Christmas decorations. It looks cheap; the materials are cheap. This sort of bedraggled, taped-together curtain and stage feel appropriate to those venues that one comes to with few expectations. The best one might expect would be trash of the John Waters sort. The chanteuse wouldn’t be Anita O’Day; more likely, a drag queen lip-synching to Judy or Dusty, maybe to Madge. When

Klute Was The Key to Jane Fonda’s Radical Self Reinvention
Her role in the 1971 surveillance thriller foreshadowed the shift in her career, from Hollywood starlet to fierce activist on and off the screen. Feb 28, 2021
In 1970, Jane Fonda almost quit the role for which she won her first Oscar. The character Bree Daniels, in Alan J. Pakula’s surveillance thriller
Klute, was a New York City sex worker caught in the middle of a missing persons case. That spring, Fonda had spent two months on a road trip across America, where she witnessed firsthand the social and political issues that plagued the nation. She met with students at universities and soldiers at GI coffeehouses, was arrested for passing out antiwar pamphlets at army bases, and attended a speech on the women’s movement that ignited her own personal feminist revolution.
10 Essential Private Eye Movies
Tom Jolliffe offers up 10 essential private investigator movies…
The humble Dick. I mean P.I of course. Private Investigator. They often operate on a perilous high wire between law and unlawful.

It has been a cinematic staple for years, as it has also in literature (and indeed there have been a few adaptations of great P.I fiction over the years too). In particular it has been a popular staple in American noir and neo-noir. Here are 10 essential P.I. films…
